The new rule has addressed that very issue and it has made it clear that the rate of fire will be measured between any two shots and also gives the penalties that will be assessed.
Here is the link but the relevant text is quoted below.

7.3.6. A marker may fire at a maximum rate of 13.33
balls per second.


7.3.6.1. A
player on the field of play during a game whose marker shoots more than one
paintball within 65 milliseconds will receive a gross penalty.
7.3.6.2. A player on the field of play
during a game whose marker shoots more than one paintball within 70
milliseconds will be assessed a major penalty.
7.3.6.3. A player on the field of play
during a game whose marker shoots more than one paintball within 75
milliseconds* will be assessed a minor penalty.

* A measurement of 75.0 milliseconds or higher is acceptable. A
measurement of 74.9 milliseconds or lower will be penalized.

So now the limit is 13.33bps all sensible players will set theirs to no more than 13.0bps as a safeguard.
